Creating Caring Children

Research
continues to demonstrate that the care and guidance provided for
children during the first years of their lives plays a critical role.
Crucial brain development takes place in children from birth to age
three, and how parents and caregivers nurture this development can
greatly affects not only the child's fundamental emotional well-being,
but also cultivate personal, academic, and social skills required to
learn well in school, cope with everyday problems, and succeed later in
life.

Creating Caring Children: The First Three Years
was created to identify, address and meet children's developmental
needs in a conscious, caring way. Written by experts in early childhood
education, this book provides parents, professional caregivers, and
day-care administrators with appropriate, nurturing responses to a wide
variety of behavioral issues typical during these early years.

With more than 100 pages of adorably illustrated scenarios, Creating Caring Children: The First Three Years provides a comprehensive reference. Among the topics addressed:

communication

curiosity

exploration

possessiveness

separation anxiety

creativity

expectations

independence

routines

toilet learning

Each scenario contrasts a common response with a more appropriate
response, offering concrete examples of suitable language and actions.
The scenarios provide the conceptual framework behind the response,
offer additional tips for difficult situations and offer insight into
the child's point of view.

Creating Caring Children: The First Three Years
will serve as an invaluable resource for anyone who takes care of
infants and toddlers. Create children who are ready to succeed and
thrive not only in school, but in life.
